Abstract
Although there have been tremendous improvements in the production and storage of platelets, platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) remains a serious clinical issue that may lead to various severe adverse events. The burden of supplying platelets is worsened by rising market demand and limited donor pools of compatible platelets. Antibodies against platelet antigens are known to activate platelets through FcγR-dependent or complement-activated channels, thereby rapidly eliminating foreign platelets. Recently, other mechanisms of platelet clearance have been reported. The current treatment strategy for PTR is to select appropriate and compatible platelets; however, this necessitates a sizable donor pool and technical assistance for costly testing. Consolidation of these mechanisms should be of critical significance in providing insight to establish novel therapeutics to target immunological platelet refractoriness. Therefore, the purposes of this review were to explore the modulation of the immune system over the activation and elimination of allogeneic platelets and to summarize the development of alternative approaches for treating and avoiding alloimmunization to human leukocyte antigen or human platelet antigen in PTR.

From Classical to Alternative Pathways of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol Synthesis: AlterAGs at the Crossroad of Endocannabinoid and Lysophospholipid Signaling. Molecules 2024; 29:3694. [PMID: 39125098 PMCID: PMC11314389 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29153694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is the most abundant endocannabinoid (EC), acting as a full agonist at both CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors. It is synthesized on demand in postsynaptic membranes through the sequential action of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cβ1 (PLCβ1) and diacylglycerol lipase α (DAGLα), contributing to retrograde signaling upon interaction with presynaptic CB1. However, 2-AG production might also involve various combinations of PLC and DAGL isoforms, as well as additional intracellular pathways implying other enzymes and substrates. Three other alternative pathways of 2-AG synthesis rest on the extracellular cleavage of 2-arachidonoyl-lysophospholipids by three different hydrolases: glycerophosphodiesterase 3 (GDE3), lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs), and two members of ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases (ENPP6-7). We propose the names of AlterAG-1, -2, and -3 for three pathways sharing an ectocellular localization, allowing them to convert extracellular lysophospholipid mediators into 2-AG, thus inducing typical signaling switches between various G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This implies the critical importance of the regioisomerism of both lysophospholipid (LPLs) and 2-AG, which is the object of deep analysis within this review. The precise functional roles of AlterAGs are still poorly understood and will require gene invalidation approaches, knowing that both 2-AG and its related lysophospholipids are involved in numerous aspects of physiology and pathology, including cancer, inflammation, immune defenses, obesity, bone development, neurodegeneration, or psychiatric disorders.

Abstract
High platelet reactivity leading to spontaneous platelet aggregation (SPA) is a hallmark of cardiovascular diseases; however, the mechanism underlying SPA remains obscure. Platelet aggregation in stirred hirudin-anticoagulated blood was measured by multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) for 10 min. SPA started after a delay of 2–3 min. In our cohort of healthy blood donors (n = 118), nine donors (8%) with high SPA (>250 AU*min) were detected. Pre-incubation of blood with two different antibodies against the platelet Fc-receptor (anti-FcγRIIA, CD32a) significantly reduced high SPA by 86%. High but not normal SPA was dose-dependently and significantly reduced by blocking Fc of human IgG with a specific antibody. SPA was completely abrogated by blood pre-incubation with the reversible Btk-inhibitor (BTKi) fenebrutinib (50 nM), and 3 h after intake of the irreversible BTKi ibrutinib (280 mg) by healthy volunteers. Increased SPA was associated with higher platelet GPVI reactivity. Anti-platelet factor 4 (PF4)/polyanion IgG complexes were excluded as activators of the platelet Fc-receptor. Our results indicate that high SPA in blood is due to platelet FcγRIIA stimulation by unidentified IgG complexes and mediated by Btk activation. The relevance of our findings for SPA as possible risk factor of cardiovascular diseases and pathogenic factor contributing to certain autoimmune diseases is discussed.

Abstract
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is an immune-mediated disorder caused by antibodies that recognize complexes of platelet factor 4 and heparin. Thrombosis is a central and unpredictable feature of this syndrome. Despite optimal management, disease morbidity and mortality from thrombosis remain high. The hypercoagulable state in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is biologically distinct from other thrombophilic disorders in that clinical complications are directly attributable to circulating ultra-large immune complexes. In some individuals, ultra-large immune complexes elicit unchecked cellular procoagulant responses that culminate in thrombosis. To date, the clinical and biologic risk factors associated with thrombotic risk in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia remain elusive. This review will summarize our current understanding of thrombosis in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia with attention to its clinical features, cellular mechanisms, and its management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune complexes (ICs) bind to and activate platelets via FcγRIIA, causing patients to experience thrombocytopenia, as well as an increased risk of forming occlusive thrombi. Although platelets have been shown to mediate IC-induced pathologies, the mechanisms involved have yet to be fully elucidated. We identified that apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is present in both human and mouse platelets and potentiates many platelet functions. OBJECTIVES Here we set out to study ASK1's role in regulating IC-mediated platelet functions in vitro and IC-induced pathologies using an in vivo mouse model. METHODS Using human platelets treated with an ASK1-specific inhibitor and platelets from FCGR2A/Ask1-/- transgenic mice, we examined various platelet functions induced by model ICs in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS We found that ASK1 was activated in human platelets following cross-linking of FcγRIIA using either anti-hCD9 or IV.3 + goat-anti-mouse. Although genetic deletion or inhibition of ASK1 significantly attenuated anti-CD9-induced platelet aggregation, activation of the canonical FcγRIIA signaling targets Syk and PLCγ2 was unaffected. We further found that anti-mCD9-induced cPla2 phosphorylation and TxA2 generation is delayed in Ask1 null transgenic mouse platelets leading to diminished δ-granule secretion. In vivo, absence of Ask1 protected FCGR2A transgenic mice from thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, and systemic shock following injection of anti-mCD9. In whole blood microfluidics, platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on fibrinogen was enhanced by Ask1. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that ASK1 inhibition may be a potential target for the treatment of IC-induced shock and other immune-mediated thrombotic disorders.

Abstract
The P2Y12 receptor is a key player in platelet activation and a major target for antithrombotic drugs. The beneficial effects of P2Y12 receptor antagonists might, however, not be restricted to the primary and secondary prevention of arterial thrombosis. Indeed, it has been established that platelet activation also has an essential role in inflammation. Additionally, nonplatelet P2Y12 receptors present in immune cells and vascular smooth muscle cells might be effective players in the inflammatory response. This review will investigate the biological and clinical impact of P2Y12 receptor inhibition beyond its platelet-driven antithrombotic effects, focusing on its anti-inflammatory role. We will discuss the potential molecular and cellular mechanisms of P2Y12-mediated inflammation, including cytokine release, platelet–leukocyte interactions and neutrophil extracellular trap formation. Then we will summarize the current evidence on the beneficial effects of P2Y12 antagonists during various clinical inflammatory diseases, especially during sepsis, acute lung injury, asthma, atherosclerosis, and cancer.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) regulates collagen-mediated platelet activation through its cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIMs). However, the function of CEACAM1's extracellular cleavage fragments is currently unknown. In the present study, we used mass spectrometry (MS) to identify 9 cleavage fragments shed by matrix metallopeptidase 12 (MMP-12), and then we synthesized peptides with sequences corresponding to the fragments. QLSNGNRTLT (QLSN), a peptide from the A1-domain of CEACAM1, significantly attenuated collagen-induced platelet aggregation. QLSN also attenuated platelet static adhesion to collagen. Additionally, QLSN reduced human platelet secretion and integrin αIIbβ3 activation in response to glycoprotein VI (GPVI)-selective agonist, convulxin. Correspondingly, QLSN treatment significantly decreased convulxin-mediated phosphorylation of Src, protein kinase B (Akt), spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) and phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCγ2) in human platelets. These data indicate that the CEACAM1-derived peptide QLSN inhibits GPVI-mediated human platelet activation. QLSN could potentially be developed as a novel antiplatelet agent.

Abstract
Fcγ receptors have critical roles in the pathophysiology of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), a severe immune-mediated complication of heparin treatment. Activation of platelets, monocytes and neutrophils by platelet-activating anti-PF4/heparin IgG antibodies results in thrombocytopenia, hypercoagulability and thrombosis in susceptible patients, effects that depend on FcγRIIA. In addition, FcγRIIIA receptors probably contribute to clearance of platelets sensitised by HIT immune complexes. FcγRI has also been reported to be involved in monocyte activation by HIT IgG antibodies and synthesis of tissue factor. This review focuses on the role of these FcγRs in HIT pathophysiology, including the potential influence of several gene variations associated with variable risk of HIT and related thrombosis. In particular, the 276P and 326Q alleles of CD148, a protein tyrosine phosphatase that regulates FcγRIIA signalling, are associated with a lower risk of HIT, and platelets from healthy donors expressing these alleles are hyporesponsive to anti-PF4/H antibodies. It was also recently demonstrated that the risk of thrombosis is higher in HIT patients expressing the R isoform of the FcγRIIA H131R polymorphism, with HIT antibodies shown to activate RR platelets more efficiently, mainly explained by an inhibitory effect of normal IgG2, which bound to the FcγRIIA 131H isoform more efficiently. Environmental risk factors probably interact with these gene polymorphisms affecting FcγRs, thereby increasing thrombosis risk in HIT.

Abstract
Phospholipases play a key role in the metabolism of phospholipids and in cell signaling. They are also a very useful tool to explore phospholipid structure and metabolism as well as membrane organization. They are at the center of this review, covering a period starting in 1971 and focused on a number of subjects in which my colleagues and I have been involved. Those include determination of phospholipid asymmetry in the blood platelet membrane, biosynthesis of lysophosphatidic acid, biochemistry of platelet-activating factor, first attempts to define the role of phosphoinositides in cell signaling, and identification of novel digestive (phospho)lipases such as pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 (PLRP2) or phospholipase B. Besides recalling some of our contributions to those various fields, this review makes an appraisal of the impressive and often unexpected evolution of those various aspects of membrane phospholipids and lipid mediators. It is also the occasion to propose some new working hypotheses.

Abstract
The platelet P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12R) for adenosine 5'diphosphate (ADP) plays a central role in platelet function, hemostasis, and thrombosis. Patients with inherited P2Y12R defects display mild-to-moderate bleeding diatheses. Defects of P2Y12R should be suspected when ADP, even at high concentrations (≥ 10 μm), is unable to induce full, irreversible platelet aggregation. P2Y12R also plays a role in inflammation: its role in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma has been well characterized. In addition, inhibition or genetic deficiency of P2Y12R has antitumor effects. Drugs inhibiting P2Y12R are potent antithrombotic drugs. Clopidogrel is the P2Y12R antagonist that is most widely used in the clinical setting. Its most important drawback is its inability to inhibit adequately P2Y12R-dependent platelet function in about one-third of patients. New drugs, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, which effectively inhibit P2Y12R in the vast majority of patients, have proved to be more efficacious than clopdidogrel in preventing major adverse cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Beyond their prominent role in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets are increasingly recognized as having immunologic functions. Supporting this, human platelets express FcγRIIA (CD32a), a low-affinity Fc receptor (FcR) for the constant region of IgG that recognizes immune complexes (ICs) and IgG-opsonized cells with high avidity. In leukocytes, FcγRIIA engagement initiates strong effector functions that are key for immune and inflammatory responses, including cytokine release, antibody-dependent cell-mediated killing of pathogens, and internalization of ICs. However, the physiologic relevance of platelet-expressed FcγRIIA has received little attention in previous reviews on FcRs. This article summarizes and discusses the available information on human platelet FcγRIIA. The importance of this receptor in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, a prothrombotic adverse drug effect, is well documented. However, studies demonstrating platelet activation by IgG-opsonized bacteria point to the physiologic relevance of platelet FcγRIIA in immunity. In this context, platelet activation and secretion may facilitate both a direct antimicrobial function of platelets and crosstalk with other immune cells. Additionally, a role for platelet FcγRIIA in IgG-independent hemostasis and physiologic thrombosis, by means of amplifying integrin αII b β3 outside-in signaling, has also been proposed. Nonetheless, the thrombotic complications found in some infective and autoimmune diseases may result from unbalanced FcγRIIA-mediated platelet aggregation. Moreover, FcγRIIA is not expressed in mice, and thrombocytopenia and/or thrombotic events found after drug administration can only be recapitulated by the use of human FcγRIIA-transgenic mice. Altogether, the available data support a functional role for platelet FcγRIIA in health and disease, and emphasize the need for further investigation of this receptor.

Abstract
Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious immunological complication of heparin administration. Diagnosis of HIT is challenging, especially in critically ill patients. The clinical scoring model for predicting HIT is helpful for guiding clinical decision. We analysed data of patients who underwent the heparin-induced platelet aggregation (HPA) test from 2006 to 2010 and compared diagnostic performance of the novel model HIT expert probability ('HEP'), which has been validated in a population mainly comprising surgical patients first, by the previously published model '4Ts' score. Clinical courses of the patients were also reviewed to ensure that HPA test results were accurate. There were 47 suspected HIT patients. The majority was from medical (70.2%) and/or critical care (61.7%) units. Ten (21.3%) yielded positive HPA. Among positive HPA patients, eight were medical patients. The HEP score ranged from -3 to 13, whereas the 4Ts score ranged from 3 to 7 in positive HPA patients. Both HEP and 4Ts scores were significantly higher in positive HPA than in negative HPA patients (5.35 vs. 1.81, P=0.010 and 4.85 vs. 3.32, P=0.001, respectively). The HEP score did not display better diagnostic performance than the 4Ts score, with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under curve of 0.72 and 0.79 (P=0.31), respectively. The HEP score did not show better diagnostic performance than the 4Ts score for predicting HIT in our population. A large prospective validation in different sets of patients is warranted.

Abstract
The P2Y(12) receptor is a Gi-coupled ADP receptor first described in blood platelets where it plays a central role in the complex processes of activation and aggregation. Platelet granules store important amounts of ADP which are released upon stimulation by interaction of platelets with the damaged vessel wall. Therefore, the P2Y(12) receptor is a key player in primary hemostasis and in arterial thrombosis and is an established target of antithrombotic drugs like the thienopyridine compounds ticlopidine, clopidogrel, and prasugrel or the direct, reversible antagonists ticagrelor and cangrelor. Beyond the platelet physiology and pharmacology, recent studies have revealed the expression of the P2Y(12) receptor in other hematopoietic cells including leukocyte subtypes and microglia in the central nervous system as well as in vascular smooth muscle cells. These studies indicate putative roles of the P2Y(12) receptor in inflammatory states and diseases of the brain, lung, and blood vessels. The selective role of P2Y(12) among other P2 receptors as well as the possible impact of P2Y(12) targeting drugs in these processes remain to be evaluated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare but severe complication of heparin therapy in which immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against the platelet factor 4-heparin complex activate platelets through the FcγRIIA receptor. Clustering of FcγRIIA initiates signaling cascades involving tyrosine kinases including the spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk). Moreover, besides the critical role of platelets, the expression of tissue factor (TF) by human monocytes triggered by HIT antibodies has been shown to contribute to the hypercoagulability and the thrombotic complications in HIT patients. OBJECTIVES We investigated the effect of R406, a small molecule inhibitor of Syk developed as a potential treatment of autoimmune diseases, allergic disorders and B-cell related hematological malignancies, on FcγRIIA-mediated platelet activation. To further assess the potential activity of Syk inhibitors in HIT treatment, the effect of R406 was also evaluated on HIT antibodies-induced expression of TF and procoagulant activity of monocytic cells. RESULTS We show that R406 is a potent inhibitor of platelet signaling and functions initiated by FcγRIIA cross-linking by specific antibodies or by sera from HIT patients. Syk inhibition efficiently prevents FcγRIIA-induced LAT phosphorylation and activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, Akt, phospholipase Cγ2 and p38 MAP-kinase. As a consequence, FcγRIIA-induced platelet aggregation, granule secretion and microparticles production are strongly inhibited by R406. Moreover, the Syk inhibitor efficiently impairs the expression of TF and the procoagulant activity of human monocytes triggered by HIT antibodies. CONCLUSION Syk inhibitors may be of therapeutic interest in the treatment of HIT by reducing HIT antibodies-mediated platelet activation and monocyte procoagulant activity.

Abstract
Following vessel wall injury, platelets adhere to the exposed subendothelium, become activated and release mediators such as TXA(2) and nucleotides stored at very high concentration in the so-called dense granules. Released nucleotides and other soluble agents act in a positive feedback mechanism to cause further platelet activation and amplify platelet responses induced by agents such as thrombin or collagen. Adenine nucleotides act on platelets through three distinct P2 receptors: two are G protein-coupled ADP receptors, namely the P2Y(1) and P2Y(12) receptor subtypes, while the P2X(1) receptor ligand-gated cation channel is activated by ATP. The P2Y(1) receptor initiates platelet aggregation but is not sufficient for a full platelet aggregation in response to ADP, while the P2Y(12) receptor is responsible for completion of the aggregation to ADP. The latter receptor, the molecular target of the antithrombotic drugs clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor, is responsible for most of the potentiating effects of ADP when platelets are stimulated by agents such as thrombin, collagen or immune complexes. The P2X(1) receptor is involved in platelet shape change and in activation by collagen under shear conditions. Each of these receptors is coupled to specific signal transduction pathways in response to ADP or ATP and is differentially involved in all the sequential events involved in platelet function and haemostasis. As such, they represent potential targets for antithrombotic drugs.

Abstract
P2Y₁₂, the G(i)-coupled platelet receptor for adenosine diphosphate (ADP), plays a central role in platelet function. Patients with congenital P2Y₁₂ defects display a mild to moderate bleeding diathesis, characterized by mucocutaneous bleedings and excessive post-surgical and post-traumatic blood loss. Defects of P2Y₁₂ should be suspected when ADP, even at high concentrations (≥ 10 μM), is unable to induce full, irreversible platelet aggregation. Tests that evaluate the degree of inhibition of adenylyl cyclase by ADP should be used to confirm the diagnosis. Drugs that inhibit P2Y₁₂ are potent antithrombotic drugs, attesting the central role played by P2Y₁₂ in platelet thrombus formation. Clopidogrel, the most widely used drug that inhibits P2Y₁₂, is effective both in monotherapy and in combination with acetylsalicylic acid. The most important drawback of clopidogrel is its inability to inhibit adequately P2Y₁₂-dependent platelet function in approximately one-third of patients who are therefore not protected from major cardiovascular events. New drugs, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, which effectively inhibit P2Y₁₂ in the majority of patients, proved to be more efficacious than clopdidogrel in preventing major cardiovascular events. Although they increase the incidence of major bleedings, the net clinical benefit is in favor of the new P2Y₁₂ inhibitors.

Abstract
The human Fc receptor, FcgammaRIIA, is known to mediate phagocytosis and endocytosis, yet the greatest numbers of these receptors are expressed on the surface of non-phagocytic platelets, where they are involved in serotonin secretion. FcgammaRIIA harbours three tyrosine (Y) residues within its cytoplasmic domain. Y1 is upstream of both Y2 and Y3, which are contained within an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM), required for many signaling events. We have demonstrated that the two ITAM tyrosines are required for phagocytic signaling and that mutation of a single ITAM tyrosine decreases but does not abolish phagocytic signaling. Furthermore, we have identified that the YMTL motif is required for endocytosis. These observations suggest that FcgammaRIIA utilizes different sequences for various signaling events. Therefore, we investigated the sequence requirements for another important FcgammaRIIA-mediated signaling event, serotonin secretion, using Rat Basophilic Leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells transfected with wildtype (WT) FcgammaRIIA or mutant FcgammaRIIA. Stimulation of cells expressing WT FcgammaRIIA induced release of serotonin at a level 7-fold greater than that in nonstimulated WT FcgammaRIIA-transfected cells or nontransfected RBL cells. Mutation of either ITAM tyrosine (Y2 or Y3) to phenylalanine was sufficient to abolish serotonin secretion. Further, while inhibition of Syk with piceatannol blocked phagocytosis as expected, it did not inhibit serotonin secretion. Additionally, inhibition of phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) with wortmannin only had a partial effect on serotonin signaling, despite the fact that the concentrations used completely abolished phagocytic signaling. These data suggest that the requirements for serotonin secretion differ from those for phagocytosis mediated by FcgammaRIIA.

Abstract
Hemopoietic cells express relatively high levels of the type I phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase isoforms, with p110δ and γ exhibiting specialized signaling functions in neutrophils, monocytes, mast cells, and lymphocytes. In platelets, p110β appears to be the dominant PI 3-kinase isoform regulating platelet activation, irrespective of the nature of the primary platelet activating stimulus. Based on findings with isoform-selective p110β pharmacological inhibitors and more recently with p110β-deficient platelets, p110β appears to primarily signal downstream of G(i)- and tyrosine kinase-coupled receptors. Functionally, inhibition of p110β kinase function leads to a marked defect in integrin α(IIb)β₃ adhesion and reduced platelet thrombus formation in vivo. This defect in platelet adhesive function is not associated with increased bleeding, suggesting that therapeutic targeting of p110β may represent a safe approach to reduce thrombotic complications in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
In this work we have investigated the ability of epinephrine to trigger the release of intracellular Ca2+ in thrombin-desensitized platelets. Addition of thrombin to platelets in the presence of extracellular EGTA caused a rapid and transient release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and rendered platelets unresponsive to a second addition of the same agonist. Although epinephrine alone had no effect on intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, its addition to thrombin-desensitized platelets was associated to a rapid and evident secondary release of intracellular Ca2+. This effect of epinephrine was not observed when platelets were desensitized with other agonists able to induce phospholipase C activation, including convulxin, U46619, and ADP. Although the platelet receptor for epinephrine is coupled to the Gi family member Gz, no secondary Ca2+ release was seen in thrombin-desensitized platelets upon stimulation of other Gi-coupled receptors, including the P2Y12 receptor and the CXCR4. Addition of hirudin to thrombin-desensitized platelets prevented epinephrine-promoted secondary release of Ca2+, indicating that thrombin, rather than epinephrine itself, is actually responsible for this event as a consequence of thrombin receptors resensitization. Studies with platelets stimulated with specific PAR1- and PAR4- activating peptides proved that neither one of these thrombin receptors were involved in the secondary epinephrine-assisted Ca2+ release. Moreover, we found that thrombin was still able to induce a reduced, but evident release of Ca2+ from internal stores in PAR1- and PAR4-desensitized platelets, which could be followed by a secondary Ca2+ release upon subsequent addition of epinephrine. Importantly, both the primary and the secondary Ca2+ release induced by thrombin and epinephrine in PAR1- and PAR4-desensitized platelets were abrogated upon cleavage of GPIbalpha by the metalloproteinase mocarhagin. These results demonstrate a direct role of thrombin binding to GPIb-IX-V in the mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, and reveal that epinephrine can restore this process in desensitized platelets, thus prolonging the effect of thrombin stimulation.

Abstract
The interaction of immune complexes with the human Fc receptor, FcgammaRIIa, initiates the release of inflammatory mediators and is implicated in the pathogenesis of human autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, so this FcR is a potential target for therapy. We have used the three-dimensional structure of an FcgammaRIIa dimer to design small molecule inhibitors, modeled on a distinct groove and pocket created by receptor dimerization, adjacent to the ligand-binding sites. These small chemical entities (SCEs) blocked immune complex-induced platelet activation and aggregation and tumor necrosis factor secretion from macrophages in a human cell line and transgenic mouse macrophages. The SCE appeared specific for FcgammaRIIa, as they inhibited only immune complex-induced responses and had no effect on responses to stimuli unrelated to FcR, for example platelet stimulation with arachidonic acid. In vivo testing of the SCE in FcgammaRIIa transgenic mice showed that they inhibited the development and stopped the progression of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). The SCEs were more potent than methotrexate and anti-CD3 in sustained suppression of CIA. Thus, in vitro and in vivo activity of these SCE FcgammaRIIa receptor antagonists demonstrated their potential as anti-inflammatory agents for autoimmune diseases involving immune complexes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Disintegrins, snake venom-derived Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing polypeptides, and GPIIb/IIIa antagonist (AP2) block fibrinogen binding to GPIIb/IIIa of activated platelets, however, the combination of these two agents caused platelet aggregation. We hypothesize that disintegrin initially binds to specific epitope of GPIIb/IIIa, causing conformational change, and the recruitment of FcgammaRII, which can be bound by AP2, and finally triggering platelet aggregation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prepared human platelet suspensions and measured platelet aggregation, Ca2+ mobilization, thromboxane B2 formation, and signal transduction. RESULTS Disintegrin (e.g., accutin) and AP2 (a monoclonal antibody [mAb]-raised against GPIIb/IIIa) individually inhibited human platelet aggregation caused by collagen. However, as both accutin and AP2 were sequentially added into platelet suspension, platelet aggregation occurred. Accutin/AP2 caused shape change, cytosolic Ca2+ mobilization, P-selectin expression, and thromboxane A2 formation. Tirofiban, FcgammaRII mAb, or indomethacin completely inhibited platelet aggregation caused by accutin/AP2. Accutin/AP2 also caused tyrosine phosphorylation of signal molecules. Disintegrins enhanced AP2 binding to platelets, and AP2 also promoted disintegrin binding to platelets. FcgammaRII mAb inhibited the enhanced fluorescein isothiocyanate-disintegrin binding to platelet caused by AP2. Immunoprecipitation of the lysates of disintegrin/AP2-treated platelets using FcgammaRII Ab showed complex formation of GPIIb/IIIa and FcgammaRII. CONCLUSION FcgammaRII mediates platelet aggregation caused by disintegrin and AP2, triggering a phospholipase C, phospholipase A2, Src-, Syk kinases, and Ca2+-dependent activation process. AP2 triggers platelet aggregation via binding to accessible FcgammaRII and the conformation-altered GPIIb/IIIa caused by disintegrin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thrombin induces the activation of the platelet serine/threonine kinase Akt. Akt activation is dependent on its phosphorylation at Thr308 and Ser473. The mechanism by which thrombin induces Akt phosphorylation is controversial, as is the role of Akt in platelet function. OBJECTIVES To investigate how protease-activated receptors (PARs) stimulate Akt and the role that Akt plays in human platelet function. METHODS Platelets were stimulated through PAR1 or PAR4. Specific inhibitors were used to evaluate, by Western blotting, signaling pathways regulating Akt phosphorylation, and the role of activated Akt was evaluated by aggregometry and flow cytometry. RESULTS Phospholipase C (PLC) controls Akt phosphorylation elicited by PARs. Stimulation of PAR1 or PAR4 resulted in rapid Akt phosphorylation, independently of secreted ADP and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) activation. Akt phosphorylation approximately 60 s after PAR1 stimulation became entirely dependent on the purinergic receptor P2Y(12) and the activation of PI3K. In contrast, PAR4 partially sustained Akt phosphorylation independently of P2Y(12) and PI3K for up to 300 s. Pharmacologic inhibition of Akt reduced P-selectin expression and fibrinogen binding in platelets stimulated through PAR1, and delayed platelet aggregation in response to submaximal PAR1 or PAR4 stimulation, although aggregation at 300 s was unaffected. CONCLUSIONS Platelet PAR stimulation causes rapid Akt phosphorylation downstream of PLC, whereas with continuous stimulation, ADP and PI3K are required for maintaining Akt phosphorylation. Activated Akt regulates platelet function by modulating secretion and alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation.

Abstract
An unexpected high incidence of thromboembolic complications has been described in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases treated with CD40L immunotherapy. Since activated platelets express CD40L, we aimed to investigate the effects of CD40L mAb in platelet aggregation induced by physiological stimuli. Optical aggregometry was performed on platelet-rich plasma and washed platelets obtained from systemic venous blood (0.38% citrate) of anesthetized pigs. CD40L mAb clone 5c8, used in clinical trials for autoimmune diseases, was used. In platelet-rich plasma, CD40L mAb neither induced platelet aggregation per se, nor significantly affected maximal aggregation or slope of ADP-induced aggregation curves. However, it dose-dependently inhibited spontaneous deaggregation observed in ADP-stimulated samples. This effect was not observed with an irrelevant isotype-matched immunoglobulin. The stabilizing effect on platelet aggregates was neither glycoprotein IIb/IIIa-mediated nor Ca2+-dependent but was abolished by acetylsalicylic acid pretreatment. F(ab')2 fragments did not stabilize ADP-induced platelet aggregates but inhibited the stabilizing effect of CD40L mAb. Similar results were obtained with washed platelets, although higher amplification of ADP-induced aggregation was observed. In conclusion, CD40L expression produced by physiological or pathophysiological platelet activation can sustain a pro-aggregatory effect of CD40L mAb by a mechanism involving mAb Fc domain. These results could help to explain the mechanism of CD40L mAb-induced thromboembolic complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased platelet reactivity has been implicated in cardiovascular disease - the major cause of death in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). FcGammaRIIA is a component of glycoprotein VI and Ib-IX-V that mediate activation of platelets by collagen and von Willebrand factor. To determine whether expression of FcGammaRIIA impacts platelet reactivity we quantified its expression and platelet reactivity in 33 patients with ESRD who were undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS Blood samples were obtained from patients immediately before hemodialysis and before administration of heparin. Platelet expression of FcGammaRIIA and the activation of platelets in response to low concentrations of convulxin (1 ng/ml, selected to mimic effects of collagen), thrombin (1 nM), adenosine diphosphate (ADP, 0.2 microM), or platelet activating factor (PAF, 1 nM) were determined with the use of flow cytometry in samples of whole blood anticoagulated with corn trypsin inhibitor (a specific inhibitor of Factor XIIa). RESULTS Patients were stratified with respect to the median expression of FcGammaRIIA. Patients with high platelet expression of FcGammaRIIA exhibited 3-fold greater platelet reactivity compared with that in those with low expression in response to convulxin (p < 0.01) and 2-fold greater activation in response to thrombin, ADP, and PAF (p < 0.05 for each). For each agonist, expression of FcGammaRIIA correlated modestly but positively with platelet reactivity. The strongest correlation was with thrombin-induced activation (r = 0.6, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Increased platelet reactivity in response to low concentrations of diverse agonists is associated with high expression of FcGammaRIIA and may contribute to an increased risk of thrombosis in patients with ESRD.

Abstract
Platelets are critical for normal hemostasis. Their deregulation can lead to bleeding or to arterial thrombosis, a primary cause of heart attack and ischemic stroke. Src homology 2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase 1 (SHIP1) is a 5-phosphatase capable of dephosphorylating the phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate second messenger into phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate. SHIP1 plays a critical role in regulating the level of these 2 lipids in platelets. Using SHIP1-deficient mice, we found that its loss affects platelet aggregation in response to several agonists with minor effects on fibrinogen binding and beta(3) integrin tyrosine phosphorylation. Accordingly, SHIP1-null mice showed defects in arterial thrombus formation in response to a localized laser-induced injury. Moreover, these mice had a prolonged tail bleeding time. Upon stimulation, SHIP1-deficient platelets showed large membrane extensions, abnormalities in the open canalicular system, and a dramatic decrease in close cell-cell contacts. Interestingly, SHIP1 appeared to be required for platelet contractility, thrombus organization, and fibrin clot retraction. These data indicate that SHIP1 is an important element of the platelet signaling machinery to support normal hemostasis. To our knowledge, this is the first report unraveling an important function of SHIP1 in the activation of hematopoietic cells, in contrast to its well-documented role in the negative regulation of lymphocytes.

Abstract
Upon injury to a vessel wall the exposure of subendothelial collagen results in the activation of platelets. Platelet activation culminates in shape change, aggregation, release of granule contents and generation of lipid mediators. These secreted and generated mediators trigger a positive feedback mechanism potentiating the platelet activation induced by physiological agonists such as collagen and thrombin. Adenine nucleotides, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), released from damaged cells and that are secreted from platelet-dense granules, contribute to the positive feedback mechanism by acting through nucleotide receptors on the platelet surface. ADP acts through two G protein-coupled receptors, the Gq-coupled P2Y1 receptor, and the Gi-coupled P2Y12 receptor. ATP, on the other hand, acts through the ligand-gated channel P2X1. Stimulation of platelets by ADP leads to shape change, aggregation and thromboxane A2 generation. ADP-induced dense granule release depends on generated thromboxane A2. Furthermore, costimulation of both P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptors is required for ADP-induced platelet aggregation. ATP stimulation of P2X1 is involved in platelet shape change and helps to amplify platelet responses mediated by agonists such as collagen. Activation of each of these nucleotide receptors results in unique signal transduction pathways that are important in the regulation of thrombosis and hemostasis.

Abstract
There have been many advances in our knowledge about different aspects of P2Y receptor signaling since the last review published by our International Union of Pharmacology subcommittee. More receptor subtypes have been cloned and characterized and most orphan receptors de-orphanized, so that it is now possible to provide a basis for a future subdivision of P2Y receptor subtypes. More is known about the functional elements of the P2Y receptor molecules and the signaling pathways involved, including interactions with ion channels. There have been substantial developments in the design of selective agonists and antagonists to some of the P2Y receptor subtypes. There are new findings about the mechanisms underlying nucleotide release and ectoenzymatic nucleotide breakdown. Interactions between P2Y receptors and receptors to other signaling molecules have been explored as well as P2Y-mediated control of gene transcription. The distribution and roles of P2Y receptor subtypes in many different cell types are better understood and P2Y receptor-related compounds are being explored for therapeutic purposes. These and other advances are discussed in the present review.

Abstract
The dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton, largely controlled by the Rho family of small GTPases (Rho, Rac and Cdc42), is critical for the regulation of platelet responses such as shape change, adhesion, spreading and aggregation. Here, we investigated the role of adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a major co-activator of platelets, on the activation of Rac. ADP rapidly activated Rac in a dose-dependent manner and independently of GPIIb/IIIa and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. ADP alone, used as a primary agonist, activated Rac and its effector PAK via its P2Y1 receptor, through a G(q)-dependent pathway and independently of P2Y12. The P2Y12 receptor appeared unable to activate the GTPase per se as also observed for the adenosine triphosphate receptor P2X1. Conversely, secreted ADP strongly potentiated Rac activation induced by FcgammaRIIa clustering or TRAP via its P2Y12 receptor, the target of antithrombotic thienopyridines. Stimulation of the alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptor/G(z) pathway by epinephrine was able to replace the P2Y12/G(i)-mediated pathway to amplify Rac activation by FcgammaRIIa or by the thrombin receptor PAR-1. This co-activation appeared necessary to reach a full stimulation of Rac as well as PAK activation and actin polymerization and was blocked by a G-protein betagamma subunits scavenger peptide.

Abstract
Platelet activation by ADP and ATP plays a crucial role in haemostasis and thrombosis, and their so-called P2 receptors are potential targets for antithrombotic drugs. The ATP-gated channel P2X1 and the 2 G protein-coupled P2Y1 and P2Y12 ADP receptors selectively contribute to platelet aggregation. The P2Y1 receptor is responsible for ADP-induced shape change and weak and transient aggregation, while the P2Y12 receptor is responsible for the completion and amplification of the response to ADP and to all platelet agonists, including thromboxane A2 (TXA2), thrombin, and collagen. The P2X1 receptor is involved in platelet shape change and in activation by collagen under shear conditions. Due to its central role in the formation and stabilization of a thrombus, the P2Y12 receptor is a well-established target of antithrombotic drugs like ticlopidine or clopidogrel, which have proved efficacy in many clinical trials and experimental models of thrombosis. Competitive P2Y12 antagonists have also been shown to be effective in experimental thrombosis as well as in several clinical trials. Studies in P2Y1 and P2X1 knockout mice and experimental thrombosis models using selective P2Y1 and P2X1 antagonists have shown that, depending on the conditions, these receptors could also be potential targets for new antithrombotic drugs.

Abstract
Binding of thrombopoietin (TPO) to the cMpl receptor on human platelets potentiates aggregation induced by a number of agonists, including ADP. In this work, we found that TPO was able to restore ADP-induced platelet aggregation upon blockade of the G(q)-coupled P2Y1 purinergic receptor but not upon inhibition of the G(i)-coupled P2Y12 receptor. Moreover, TPO triggered platelet aggregation upon co-stimulation of G(z) by epinephrine but not upon co-stimulation of G(q) by the thromboxane analogue U46619. Platelet aggregation induced by TPO and G(i) stimulation was biphasic, and cyclooxygenase inhibitors prevented the second but not the first phase. In contrast to ADP, TPO was unable to induce integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation, as evaluated by binding of both fibrinogen and PAC-1 monoclonal antibody. However, ADP-induced activation of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) was blocked by antagonists of the G(q)-coupled P2Y1 receptor but was completely restored by the simultaneous co-stimulation of cMpl receptor by TPO. Inside-out activation of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) induced by TPO and G(i) stimulation occurred independently of thromboxane A(2) production and was not mediated by protein kinase C, MAP kinases, or Rho-dependent kinase. Importantly, TPO and G(i) activation of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) was suppressed by wortmannin and Ly294002, suggesting a critical regulation by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. We found that TPO did not activate phospholipase C in human platelets and was unable to restore ADP-induced phospholipase C activation upon blockade of the G(q)-coupled P2Y1 receptor. TPO induced a rapid and sustained activation of the small GTPase Rap1B through a pathway dependent on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. In ADP-stimulated platelets, Rap1B activation was reduced, although not abolished, upon blockade of the P2Y1 receptor. However, accumulation of GTP-bound Rap1B in platelets activated by co-stimulation of cMpl and P2Y12 receptor was identical to that induced by the simultaneous ligation of P2Y1 and P2Y12 receptor by ADP. These results indicate that TPO can integrate G(i), but not G(q), stimulation and can efficiently support integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) activation platelet aggregation by an alternative signaling pathway independent of phospholipase C but involving the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the small GTPase Rap1B.

Abstract
We and others have recently defined that Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (PECAM-1/CD31) functions as a negative regulator of platelet-collagen interactions involving the glycoprotein VI/Fc receptor gamma chain (GPVI/FcR-gamma chain) signaling pathway.1,2 In this study, we hypothesized that PECAM-1 may be physically and functionally associated with Fc gamma RIIa on the platelet membrane. The functional relationship between PECAM-1 and Fc gamma RIIa was assessed by determining the effect of anti-PECAM-1 monoclonal antibody Fab fragments on Fc gamma RIIa-mediated platelet aggregation and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HITS)-mediated platelet aggregation. Preincubation of washed platelets with monoclonal antibody fragments of 2BD4 directed against PECAM-1 and IV.3 directed against Fc gamma RIIa completely blocked Fc gamma RIIa-mediated platelet aggregation and HITS-mediated platelet aggregation, whereas anti-CD151 antibody had no blocking effect. Coengagement of Fc gamma RIIa and PECAM-1 resulted in negative regulation of Fc gamma RIIa-mediated phospholipase C gamma 2 activation, calcium mobilization, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent signaling pathways. In addition, the physical proximity of Fc gamma RIIa and PECAM-1 was confirmed by using fluorescence resonance energy transfer and coimmunoprecipitation studies. These results indicate that PECAM-1 and Fc gamma RIIa are colocalized on the platelet membrane and PECAM-1 down-regulates Fc gamma RIIa-mediated platelet responses.

Abstract
We have compared the roles of adenosine diphosphate (ADP), thromboxanes and the integrin alpha(2)beta(1) in the activation of washed platelets by collagen in the presence of the alpha(IIb)beta(3) antagonist lotrafiban. The stimulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation by a collagen suspension is markedly delayed in the presence of the above inhibitors but shows substantial recovery with time. In comparison, activation of phospholipase C (PLC), Ca(2+) elevation and dense granule secretion are more severely suppressed by the above inhibitors. alpha(2)beta(1) blockade has a slightly greater inhibitory effect on all of the above responses than a combination of ADP receptor antagonists and cyclooxygenase inhibitor. Platelets exposed to a collagen monolayer show robust elevation of Ca(2+) that is delayed in the presence of the above inhibitors and which is accompanied by alpha-granule secretion. These results demonstrate that secondary mediators and alpha(2)beta(1) modulate collagen-induced intracellular signaling but have negligible effect on GPVI signaling induced by the specific agonist convulxin. This work supports the postulate that the major role of alpha(2)beta(1) is to increase the avidity of collagen for the platelet surface and by doing so enhance activation of GPVI. Therefore we propose an important role of secondary mediators in collagen-induced signaling is the indirect regulation of GPVI signaling via activation of alpha(2)beta(1).

Abstract
Among the various hematopoi;etic cells, platelets are critical for maintaining the integrity of the vascular system. They must be rapidly activated by sequential and coordinated mechanisms in order to efficiently prevent haemorrhage upon vascular injury. Several signal transduction pathways lead to platelet activation in vitro and in vivo, among them, several are initiated via receptors or co-receptors containing immuno-receptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAM) which trigger downstream signalling like the immune receptors in lymphocytes. However, in contrast to immune cells for which the role of lipid rafts in signalling has largely been described, the involvement of laterally segregated membrane microdomains in platelet activation has been investigated only recently. The results obtained until now strongly suggest that early steps of platelet activation via the collagen receptor GpVI or via FcgammaRIIa occur preferentially in these microdomains where specific proteins efficiently organize key downstream signalling pathways. In addition, lipid rafts also contribute to platelet activation via heterotrimeric G-protein-coupled receptors. They are sites where the phosphoinositide (PI) metabolism is highly active, leading to a local generation of lipid second messengers such as phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. Here, evidence is accumulating that cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains are part of a general process that contributes to the efficiency and the coordination of platelet activation mechanisms. Here we will discuss the biochemical and functional characterizations of human platelet rafts and their potential impact in platelet physiopathology.

Abstract
The small GTP-binding protein Rap1B is activated in human platelets upon stimulation of a G(i)-dependent signaling pathway. In this work, we found that inhibition of platelet adenylyl cyclase by dideoxyadenosine or SQ22536 did not cause activation of Rap1B and did not restore Rap1B activation in platelets stimulated by cross-linking of Fcgamma receptor IIA (FcgammaRIIA) in the presence of ADP scavengers. Moreover, elevation of the intracellular cAMP concentration did not impair the G(i)-dependent activation of Rap1B. Two unrelated inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), wortmannin and LY294002, totally prevented Rap1B activation in platelets stimulated by cross-linking of FcgammaRIIA, by stimulation of the P2Y(12) receptor for ADP, or by epinephrine. However, in platelets from PI3Kgamma-deficient mice, both ADP and epinephrine were still able to normally stimulate Rap1B activation through a PI3K-dependent mechanism, suggesting the involvement of a different isoform of the enzyme. Moreover, the lack of PI3Kgamma did not prevent the ability of epinephrine to potentiate platelet aggregation through a G(i)-dependent pathway. The inhibitory effect of wortmannin on Rap1B activation was overcome by addition of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)), but not PtdIns(3,4)P(2), although both lipids were found to support phosphorylation of Akt. Moreover, PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) was able to relieve the inhibitory effect of apyrase on FcgammaRIIA-mediated platelet aggregation. We conclude that stimulation of a G(i)-dependent signaling pathway causes activation of the small GTPase Rap1B through the action of the PI3K product PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3), but not PtdIns(3,4)P(2), and that this process may contribute to potentiation of platelet aggregation.

Abstract
Collagen activates platelets by transducing signals through glycoprotein VI (GPVI). It is not clear whether collagen can directly activate fibrinogen receptors on the adherent platelets without a role for positive feedback agonists. We investigated the contribution of secondary G protein signaling to the mechanism of GPVI-stimulated platelet aggregation using the GPVI-selective agonists, convulxin and collagen-related peptide (CRP) as well as collagen. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) scavengers or ADP receptor antagonists shifted the concentration-response curve slightly to the right at low concentrations of convulxin, whereas platelet aggregation at higher concentrations of convulxin was unaffected by these agents. ADP receptor antagonists shifted the concentration-response curve of collagen- or CRP-induced platelet aggregation to the right at all the concentrations. Protein kinase C inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, or a calcium chelator 5,5'-dimethyl-BAPTA shifted the concentration-response curve of convulxin-induced platelet aggregation to the right. In addition, pretreatment with both Ro 31-8220 and dimethyl-BAPTA resulted in total inhibition of convulxin-mediated aggregation. Blockade of either the calcium- or protein kinase C-regulated pathway leads to inhibition of fibrinogen receptor activation on platelets adherent to collagen, but inhibition of both pathways leads to abolished fibrinogen receptor activation. We conclude that collagen-induced activation of fibrinogen receptor on adherent platelets through GPVI signaling occurs without any significant role for secreted ADP or thromboxane A(2). Furthermore, protein kinase C- and calcium-regulated pathways independently contribute to GPVI-mediated platelet aggregation.

Abstract
Stimulation of human platelets by cross-linking of the low affinity receptor for immunoglobulin, FcgammaRIIA, caused the rapid activation of the small GTPase Rap1B, as monitored by accumulation of the GTP-bound form of the protein. This process was totally dependent on the action of secreted ADP since it was completely prevented in the presence of either apyrase or creatine phosphate and creatine phosphokinase. Dose-dependent experiments revealed that the inhibitory effect of ADP scavengers was not related to the reduced increase of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration in stimulated platelets. Activation of Rap1B induced by clustering of FcgammaRIIA was totally suppressed by AR-C69931MX, a specific antagonist of the G(i)-coupled ADP receptor P2Y12, but was not affected by blockade of the G(q)-coupled receptor, P2Y1. Similarly, direct stimulation of platelets with ADP induced the rapid activation of Rap1B. Pharmacological blockade of the P2Y1 receptor totally prevented ADP-induced Ca(2+) mobilization but did not affect activation of Rap1B. By contrast, prevention of ADP binding to the P2Y12 receptor totally suppressed activation of Rap1B without affecting Ca(2+) signaling. In platelets stimulated by cross-linking of FcgammaRIIA, inhibition of Rap1B activation by ADP scavengers could be overcome by the simultaneous recruitment of the G(i)-coupled alpha(2A)-adrenergic receptor by epinephrine. By contrast, serotonin, which binds to a G(q)-coupled receptor, could not restore activation of Rap1B. When tested alone, epinephrine was found to be able to induce GTP binding to Rap1B, whereas serotonin produced only a slight effect. Finally, activation of Rap1B induced by stimulation of the G(q)-coupled thromboxane A(2) receptor by was completely inhibited by ADP scavengers under conditions in which intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization was unaffected. Inhibition of -induced Rap1B activation was also observed upon blockade of the P2Y12 but not of the P2Y1 receptor for ADP. These results demonstrate that stimulation of a G(i)-dependent signaling pathway by either ADP of epinephrine is necessary and sufficient to activate the small GTPase Rap1B.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides induce various cellular responses which are not due to the blockade of protein synthesis by an antisense mechanism. Oligonucleotides presenting double-stranded or G-quartet structures (ribo- or deoxyribonucleotides, phosphodiester or phosphorothioated) induce retraction of neurites and aggregation of chicken retinal cells within 10-20 h. This effect is reversible, non-toxic; it appears to require internalization and can be mimicked by treatment of the cells with an RGDS peptide. The oligonucleotides appear to trigger a cascade of intracellular events, affecting the adhesive properties of integrins. In addition, a subset of oligonucleotides induced platelet aggregation, probably through their interaction with membrane receptors. Recognition of these effects is important for the design and interpretation of antisense experiments.

Abstract
In this study, we characterised the mechanisms of Rac GTPase activation in human platelets stimulated by two physiological agonists, either thrombin, acting through membrane receptors coupled to heterotrimeric G-proteins, or collagen which is known to mobilise a tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway. Both agonists induced a rapid activation of Rac that was not significantly affected by the inhibition of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) engagement. Using pharmacological inhibitors, we found that phospholipase C activation and calcium mobilisation were essential for platelet Rac activation by either thrombin or collagen whereas protein kinase C inhibition was without effect. In contrast to Rac, Cdc42 activation was independent of phospholipase C activation, indicating that the two GTPases are differently regulated. We also found that phosphoinositide 3-kinase was not required for Rac activation in response to thrombin but was involved in its activation by collagen.

Abstract
We have investigated the role of secretion and intracellular signalling events in aggregation induced by the glycoprotein (GP)VI-selective snake venom toxin convulxin and by collagen. We demonstrate that aggregation induced by threshold concentrations of convulxin undergoes synergy with ADP acting via the P2Y12 receptor whereas there is no synergy via the P2Y1 receptor or with thromboxanes. On the other hand, apyrase, the P2Y12 receptor antagonist, AR-C67085, and indomethacin only marginally inhibit aggregation induced by convulxin. In comparison, these inhibitors severely attenuate the response to collagen. In order to investigate whether the weak inhibitory action against convulxin is due to release of agonists other than ADP from dense granules, experiments were performed on murine platelets deficient in this organelle (pearl mice platelets). A slightly greater reduction in aggregation induced by convulxin was observed in pearl platelets than in the presence of inhibitors of ADP, but a maximal response was still attained. Importantly, inhibition of protein kinase C further reduced the response to convulxin in pearl platelets demonstrating a direct role for the kinase in aggregation. Chelation of intracellular Ca2+ with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (acetoxymethyl)ester (BAPTA-AM) abolished aggregation induced by convulxin under all conditions. Activation of phospholipase C by convulxin was potentiated by ADP acting through the P2Y12 receptor. In conclusion, we show that Ca2+ and protein kinase C, but not release of the secondary agonists ADP and thromboxane A2, are required for full aggregation induced by convulxin, whereas the response induced by collagen shows a much greater dependence on secretion of secondary agonists.

Abstract
A wide range of drugs can induce thrombocytopenia. Molecular mechanisms for the formation of specific epitopes for all the drug-dependent antibodies appear to be very similar. A restricted set of glycoproteins on the platelet surface interacts with the drugs to form neoepitopes, to which the drug-dependent antibodies bind. Molecular mapping of antigenic sites may help characterize genetic polymorphisms that predispose to the formation of the antibody binding sites. Identification of antibody binding sites will enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of immune drug-induced thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
Collagen-induced platelet aggregation is a complex process and involves synergistic action of integrins, immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptors, G-protein-coupled receptors and their ligands, most importantly collagen itself, thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)), and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The precise role of each of these receptor systems in the overall processes of activation and aggregation, however, is still poorly defined. Among the collagen receptors expressed on platelets, glycoprotein (GP) VI has been identified to play a crucial role in collagen-induced activation. GPVI is associated with the FcRgamma chain, which serves as the signal transducing unit of the receptor complex. It is well known that clustering of GPVI by highly specific agonists results in platelet activation and irreversible aggregation, but it is unclear whether collagen has the same effect on the receptor. This study shows that platelets from Galphaq-deficient mice, despite their severely impaired response to collagen, normally aggregate on clustering of GPVI, suggesting this not to be the principal mechanism by which collagen activates platelets. On the other hand, dimerization of GPVI by a monoclonal antibody (JAQ1), which by itself did not induce aggregation, provided a sufficient stimulus to potentiate platelet responses to Gi-coupled, but not Gq-coupled, agonists. The combination of JAQ1 and adrenaline or ADP, but not serotonin, resulted in alpha(IIb)beta(3)-dependent aggregation that occurred without intracellular calcium mobilization and shape change in the absence of Galphaq or the P2Y(1) receptor. Together, these results provide evidence for a cross-talk between (dimerized) GPVI and Gi-coupled receptors during collagen-induced platelet aggregation. (Blood. 2001;97:3829-3835)

Abstract
Over the last few years, many reports have extended our knowledge of the inositol lipid metabolism and brought out some exciting information about the location, the variety and the role of phosphoinositides (PIs). Besides the so-called "canonical PI pathway" leading to the production of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), the precursor of the intracellular second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol (DAG), many other metabolic pathways have been identified to produce seven different polyphosphoinositides. Several of these quantitatively minor lipid molecules appear to be specifically involved in the control of cellular events, such as the spatial and temporal organisation of key signalling pathways, the rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton or the intracellular vesicle trafficking. This is consistent with the fact that many of the enzymes, such as kinases and phosphatases, involved in the tight control of the intracellular level of polyphosphoinositides, are regulated and/or relocated through cell surface receptors for extracellular ligands. The remarkable feature of PIs, which can be rapidly synthesised and degraded in discrete membrane domains or even subnuclear structures, places them as ideal regulators and integrators of very dynamic mechanisms of cell regulation. In this review, we will summarise recent studies on the potential location, the metabolic pathways and the role of the different PIs. Some aspects of the temporal synthesis of D3 PIs will also be discussed.

Abstract
Although alpha(2)beta(1) integrin (glycoprotein Ia/IIa) has been established as a platelet collagen receptor, its role in collagen-induced platelet activation has been controversial. Recently, it has been demonstrated that rhodocytin (also termed aggretin), a snake venom toxin purified from the venom of Calloselasma rhodostoma, induces platelet activation that can be blocked by monoclonal antibodies against alpha(2)beta(1) integrin. This finding suggested that clustering of alpha(2)beta(1) integrin by rhodocytin is sufficient to induce platelet activation and led to the hypothesis that collagen may activate platelets by a similar mechanism. In contrast to these findings, we provided evidence that rhodocytin does not bind to alpha(2)beta(1) integrin. Here we show that the Cre/loxP-mediated loss of beta(1) integrin on mouse platelets has no effect on rhodocytin-induced platelet activation, excluding an essential role of alpha(2)beta(1) integrin in this process. Furthermore, proteolytic cleavage of the 45-kDa N-terminal domain of glycoprotein (GP) Ibalpha either on normal or on beta(1)-null platelets had no significant effect on rhodocytin-induced platelet activation. Moreover, mouse platelets lacking both alpha(2)beta(1) integrin and the activating collagen receptor GPVI responded normally to rhodocytin. Finally, even after additional proteolytic removal of the 45-kDa N-terminal domain of GPIbalpha rhodocytin induced aggregation of these platelets. These results demonstrate that rhodocytin induces platelet activation by mechanisms that are fundamentally different from those induced by collagen.
